According to the Box Office India, "Chup has done reasonably well collecting around 7 crore nett over the weekend which is better than films like Anek and Hit - The First Case. Chup got benefit of cinema day but managed to hold up pretty well post that but the real test comes for the film on Monday"
"There are lower ticket rates on the weekdays and that should benefit the film but the problem could be on Friday as Vikram Vedha will release and Brahmastra is going strong so other releases may well feel the heat," BOI added. The first weekend collections for Chup are as follows:
Friday - 2,85,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 2,15,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 7,00,00,000 apprx
